Title: [D8320ZAQ], Essay, Thomas Alva Edison, 1882
Editor's Notes: "Storage Batteries." "Statemente are made to the subsidiary Brush companies that they have a large investment laying idle 10 hours daily and that with the storage batteries and incandescent lamps they would be enabled to utilize their plant all day long and thus earn a great deal of money." Problem is that such investment in batty doubles the plant cost, and batty depreciate at 25% a year. Only 2/3 current stored in batty can be gotten out. Gives cost figures to show that batty can't be wrkd profitably.
